So I've got a cold today. The trainer at rugby took my temperature and sent me home (apparently having a fever is tantamount to bio terrorism in Japan) so I have my first Tuesday off in months. Obviously I went to work today with the fever that I didn't know I had, unsurprisingly it was very hot today.
Anyway, it's been slow lately what with the huge amount of practice, gym, rugby and work. In the meantime, here are a couple of videos I made for no particular reason!
The top one is a train journey with bad elevator music over the top (you really should just put your own music on and watch this while reading a book. It's particularly relaxing).
Just so you know, this is not for the faint of heart. Those Jehovas witnesses will go to any lengths to stop you enjoying your life - even if you're deaf. Damn you Jehovaaaaaaaaaaa~!
(It's worth noting that Japanese people love to use the tilde, something I've refrained from using outside console commands, but I've started quite enjoying its use as an extension to imply a never ending letter, the example above being an 'a.' Just thought you'd like to know...~)
A prime example of the above tilde usage, would be in transcribing this scene.
Anyway, I sometimes report on the crazy shite that I happen upon from Japan - often it results in something that's quite cool, once you wade past the bizarre. It might take a while, but you can oftentimes figure out the intent and subsequently see the 'cool.'
This game was deemed 'cool,' enough to be copied by the BBC.
Sometimes, the bizarre nature of the image transcends description.
What.
But the proverbial biscuit has been taken, not by the Japanese, but by a rather creative american individual. The act of remixing videos and music is not new. Whereas the above creations are originals, intended for a sadistic audience that has no intention of creating anything - the below is a brilliant mix of two things I could honestly care less about. Religion is stupid. Signing a religion is obviously a necessary part of subjugating everyone (even the deaf need to be downtrodden), but the subject matter, coupled with the song (from a genre I would normally baulk at) make for a perfectly timed dance; one that I would have no hesitation in learning should I be musically inclined. Or just plain terrible at dancing.
This is a terribly fantastic video with strong signs. You have been warned.
